about

The song portrays a struggle to reach an elusive goal represented by a silver horizon, with efforts to approach it ultimately leading to it slipping away. It suggests that moments of realization and growth are fleeting, often disappearing as quickly as they appear, and that holding onto them too tightly can hinder one's progress. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of the ephemeral nature of aspirations and the challenge of reconciling dreams with reality.

lyrics

Visions of a silver horizon
But you can never quite get there
Everything you do try to move you closer
Receding into empty air

In the roots below the ground
In the wind is howling sound
One more turn to meet the sky

The moment is a sense of vibration
A current flowing through everything
Every waking thought that emerges from you
Blinds you to the flowering
It's standing on the edge of a memory
That vanishes as soon as it's named
Everything you do to try

In the roots below the ground
In the wind is howling sound
One more turn to meet the sky

I never knew what a vision life could be
Dreams that we hold always vanish to the sea
I'll be alright when I keep from holding on
To waking dreams and the moment that's gone

Visions of a silver horizon
But you can never quite get there
Everything you do try to move you closer
Receding into empty air
It feels like a dream of expansion
That vanishes from memory awake
Everything you do try to hold it tighter
Receding every move you make
